RE: How to get the Physical file member name when reading a logicalmember that is based on multiple physical members

Pos 129-138 only gives me the member name of the logical file that the
program is reading. I need to know the actual physical member name that
the logical file record being read.

Hello,
I need to know the actual physical file member name of record that
being read from a logical file member that is based on multiple
physical members. I did some research and found that position 395-396

in INFDS seems to be what I needed. It seems to contain the actual
physical-file-member-number of the currently read logical file record.
The question is how can I translate this member number into the
actual member name? The only way I know of is to do DSPFD to a
temporary out file and do a chain to this temp file using member

number as the RRN.

This sound ugly.
